I don't think anybody does. That's one reason there's a new version
of Unicode every few years.
It took some weeks (months?) to write the PEP, and months to implement
it. This PEP is only a minor change of the implementation of Unicode in
Python. A larger change will take much more time (and maybe change/break
the C and/or Python API a little bit more).
If you are able to implement your specfication (a Unicode type with a
"real" character API), please write a PEP and implement it. You may
begin with a prototype in Python, and then rewrite it in C.
But I don't think that any core developer will do that for you. It's not
how free software works. At least, I don't think that anyone will do
that for free :-) (I bet that many developers will accept to implement
that for money :-))
